D U S T:
“Origins”

Rensselaer School of Architecture kicks off its Spring 2022 Lecture Series this Thursday, February 3rd at 6:30pm EST with the online lecture “Origins” by D U S T.

D U S T is “an alliance of architects, craftspeople, artists, designers, and builders with practices rooted in the master-builder tradition: a collective of people grounded firmly in the tactile, in pursuit of the intangible.”  The studio was founded in Tucson, Arizona in 2007 as a collaboration between architects Cade Hayes and Jesús Robles.

The studio’s architectural projects include Casa Caldera, an entirely self-sustaining off the grid house in Southern Arizona (2021 Jeff Harnar Award -Top Prize for Contemporary Architecture in the Southwest);  Audubon Wildlife Pavilion, which celebrates the communion of wildlife and humans as the migratory hummingbirds pass through the region; and an addition to an adobe house that preserves and complements its character, Marfa Suite.

D U S T explores ideas and ethics rooted in a reverent intimacy with craft and place. Ideas unfold in the creative space of intersections and find form through a respect for material and an unwavering attention to craft by skilled hands. Their architecture stands as both a concrete marker on the landscape, and as a frame focused on the essential, where ephemeral moments can find their place in the timeless realm of memory.
